May I Recommend

The nature of this blog has been more within the realm of "at home cooking", but let us be honest, there are times when we forget about cooking dinner ourselves and head out to eat.

I am not really a big fan of eating out. I used to be. I used to go out to eat all the time. But these days, not so much. For the most part, I find restaurant food very homogenous; as soon as I walk in the front door and take a whiff, I know exactly what is going to be on the menu and how it is going to taste. There are just too many similar restaurants. I also do not like that most restaurant food is not prepared fresh. And finally, it is expensive to eat out and that, combined with the two aformentioned points, means that I usually leave feeling like I did not get my money's worth at all.

But all is not lost, as there is a restaurant that I have found, and I feel like I must recommend it to you all. It is the Metro Restaurant (Victoria Street in Kitchener, right beside the train station). It is delicious! Their main thing is schnitzel (they have other things as well) and they have at least 10 different varieties. I have tried to make schnitzel like they have at home and it is just not possible. Every meal is prepared fresh, and includes your choice of potatoes, vegetables, and a bowl of homemade soup. And it is very reasonably priced. I am always full when I leave, and feel like I paid for food rather than a pile of grease, salt and fat. We have been there 3 times in the last month and a half (a little more often than usual, I admit, and a little scary too since last night the waiter recognized us), and it has become our restaurant of choice. I highly recommend the Metro. It is yummy!
